@DeusXM - In this hacienda, it's dry rub, given them a devent ignoring for a few hours, then onto the BBQ and basted with home made (recipe from t'internet) LC BBQ Sauce. When too cold to BBQ, it's dry rub + ignoring, then into the pressure cooker to cook, then slather with home made BBQ Sauce, and under a hot grill for 5-10 minutes to finish beautifying them.

The latter variant featured just the other night.
 
I mean Baby Back Ribs. 🙂 No idea what "Tickle ya Ribs" is.

I've actually just made a (for me) new version on a BBQ Sauce which smells heavenly. I'm hoping when it has cooled and refrigerated it takes equally delicious.

It was a joke AndBreath. Spare ribs is what I am talking about in my Stir-fries . The title of this post is about encouraging for peep to eat LESS carbs 😉
 
If you have time have a look through 😎. Some good suggestions you might not of thought of 🙂
 
Ribs and cabbage mmmm
Riced cauli flower microwaved and then bashed with the potato masher and single cream poured in with lamb chops mmmm
Brisket and Brussels sprouts with a blob of mayo mmmm
Eggs and bacon (agh where do I get nitrate free bacon? This is my fave meal and I can't have it)

I'm gonna have a go at that shepherd's pie somebody mentioned with lamb mince and cauli rice over....roll on five o'clock. :D

If you Google it, some farms do it mail order. Bet it's expensive though!
 
Fabulous ribs in Costco but regret to say haven't dared eat them since being diagnosed. Not sure what the carb/sugar content on them is - luckily we don't have any in the freezer at the moment. Struggling with my BS readings as it is, cannot get down to 4.5 where I started from. Since being on full meds the numbers have gone up!! Not a happy bunny :(:confused:
 
I do Ribs with a dry rub in a home made Cajun dry rub (no sugar) & if I feel decadent a home made BBQ sauce sweetened with Stevia drops, usually accompanied by home made coleslaw with dressing of mayo & apple cider vinegar.

Needless to say that ribs are smoked Low & Slow for 4 to 6 hours

Why do you have to get down so low? I'm nagging my sister to get a bit higher!!

Re bacon, thanks for that Robin, I'll give it a whirl.
 
@Rhapsody, sounds like you're being too hard on yourself BG wise. I rarely hit the 4's at all, mainly mid 5's for me & still managed an amazing HbA1c.

Well Ditto - I'm led t believe that being around 4.5 to 5.5 is where I needed to be, hence trying to get back down without success. On a good note, I have lost almost a stone in weight. I've been off bread/potatoes/rice/pasta this week eating very bland foods but managed to get another 2lbs off. If I can shed another stone I will be over the moon.

Mark. As I mentioned to Ditto, 4.5 -5.5 is where I'm expected to be and where I assume it will be healthiest. Hubby thinks I'm paranoid, think he's right. We are both on a diet, since starting meds in November I've managed a stone and have another stone to go where I might be happy. I'm seeing my nurse this week and will see what she thinks of the old medical degree, up or down. I'm going to ask if I can see a dietician (which I declined originally - stupidly) but will see what my blood tests come back at first My failure is fruit, just can't seem to avoid it but I'm snacking on nuts and seeds ... I should be able to sing in a few years time. I've also been hitting the exercise bike every evening for 10-15mins although not at high speeds. It's all still new to me and takes me ages to do shopping trying to analyse labels, they should just have a row of diabetic food or should we be looking at the gluten free stuff. They have a dedicated section.:confused:
 
When I was first diagnosed, my first shopping trip took over 3 hours with all the label reading.😱
 
I never usually bother with labels. I try not to buy anything packaged...usually only cheese, cottage cheese or cream. I just think if humans have messed about with it I'll give it a miss. You see things like these veggies ready to put in the oven and they've put sugar in them! Diabolical fiends. :D

I found it quite shocking what ends up in something as simple as a prepared tray of roasted veg. 12g carb for half a packet! I prepare my own. How hard can it be to chop some vegetables!
